Hey there, check this out. The difference between among and amongst has nothing to do with their meanings and connotations, rather this difference lies in their usage. Among and amongst actually have the same meaning. What is the difference between Among and Amongst? Among and amongst are prepositions that mean the same. Among and amongst mean ‘surrounded by, included in, jointly and between.’ Among is far more common than amongst. Among is used more in American English than in British English. Americans prefer to use among. British use both among and amongst. mericans think amongst is old fashioned and even pretentious. A Northeasterner amongst Southerners. I found myself among the wealthy. There was a group of tourists amongst my group in the museum. Don’t worry; you’re among friends! They are always fighting amongst themselves So you’re now probably asking yourself, “Okay, when do I know which one to use?” The answer to this is that there is no demonstrable difference of sense or function between the two words. This means they can both be used interchangeably; it really is a matter of style for when you choose to use one over the other. I hope it brings more clarity, Yeison.

Same thing, but among is just more common, though in business and formal English amongst could be used.

Hi, 'amongst' is more formal and less commonly used than 'among'. Apart from that, they are the same. They have the same meaning, and you can use them in the same way.

I also agree that they have no different in meaning, but “amongst”is more formal.
